I believe that a cuppa tea should be added to this list as well, don't you?
The book in this photo is a blank journal like is so popular today. On the first page, in beautiful, old-fashioned handwriting it says: "To Adriana Owen from your brother and loving sister. Orie and Fannie Harrington Xmas 1910"
Oh, how beautiful!!! Gwen
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful picture! I thought of Gwen as soon as I saw the violets. :0) I love old books with inscriptions inside.

ReplyDeleteHow Lovely! Violets are my favorite flower!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photo! My mother's favorite flower is the violet (they were in her wedding bouquet), so your post today brought a smile!
ReplyDeleteLove, Andrea
This is a lovely picture, the violets are so pretty on each of the items. All the beautifully decorated cakes look mouthwatering too. I've bought sugared violets and rose petals but never tried to make them. Maybe this is the time to start.
ReplyDeleteI'll be over at 2. Tea time.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, you have such lovely displays all the time.
I love violets, in fact my china is Royal Albert Sweet Violets, I started to collect it in grade 8 and by the time I got married I had a set of 8.
I will be coming back to this post when I host the next bridal or baby shower. Such pretty cupcakes.
